Ελένη [Eleni] [English translation]

we live in a magic world

and as background (we have) Akropoli, Lycabetus hill

the baconies are full, political nightingales

promises and loves and balconies with many years

and happy years

and you Helen and every Helen

of the province, sleeping-girl of Athens

on your life, know it,(someone) has put a prize on her head

to die for Greece is another matter

and another if its her who forces you to die

and you Helen and every Helen

of the province, sleeping-girl of Athens

we live in a magic world

(it's) working (not in a straigh manner) with an one and only goal

to put you in the game, that it's going to make your life better

to promise you, to promise you to cosume your soul

and when ti arrives to control the pain of your hope

it's not enough for him

with kind words takes you by the hand

baptizes you Greece's family-man

and just right when you say things changed and you rise the glass

takes over, steals your dream and does to it hara-kiri

and you Helen
